Handwerk Audio releases Natascha Premium Percussion Pack

Natascha is a new percussion library aimed at electronic music production. It is the first product released by new Berlin sound design company Handwerk Audio.

The samples included in this library were programmed using the Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 drum machine. The sounds were recorded via an APB analog mixing desk and a Great River MP-2NV dual pre-amp. The Great River pre-amp adds a huge amount of character to each sample. Users can choose to work with the original recording or the Great River version, as both options are included.

Natascha is aimed at electronic music producers who are looking for original, unique percussion samples. Each sound was programmed from scratch. The starting point was to provide new sounds, steering away from classic drum machine samples.

The library is designed for maximum flexibility. The raw sounds are divided into several categories as well as a number of pre-programmed kits for the most popular software samplers.
